Answer 1

I am using for this including layout in navigationView which I can easily manage.

Like this

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:layout_marginEnd="-65dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="-65dp"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <include
            layout="@layout/nav_header_main_navigation"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    </android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

nav_header_main_navigation

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:background="@color/app_gray"
    android:gravity="bottom">

                        android:layout_height="20dp"

                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="48dp"
                    android:layout_marginTop="10dp">

                    <ImageView

                        android:layout_centerVertical="true"

                </RelativeLayout>
            </RelativeLayout>
        </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

Here is my whole Navigation activity XML

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:openDrawer="start">

    <include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_main_navigation"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:layout_marginEnd="-65dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="-65dp"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <include
            layout="@layout/nav_header_main_navigation"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    </android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Here is a major factor to avoid ViewPager

app_bar_main_navigation

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/app_gray"
    tools:context="com.barq.consumer.ui.home.MainNavigationActivity">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/flMain"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    </FrameLayout>


</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Now in MainNavigationActivity.Java

public class MainNavigationActivity extends BaseActivity {

    @BindView(R.id.drawer_layout)
    DrawerLayout drawer;



    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_navigation);
        ButterKnife.bind(this);
      //here is you can load your fragment without view pager
        getSupportFragmentManager()
                .beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.flMain, HomeFragment.newInstance(), HomeFragment.TAG)
                .commit();


}

And other clicks you can handle manually to load other fragments in frame layout and activities and drawer open and close you also handle manually use drawer object. Hope so you can understand it.

its an example for your easiness to avoid menu and use normal layouts in the scroll view. Here are more answers regarding the above example ULR
